Also see VRBO # 32484 for a fabulous sandy beachfront now available due to cancellation. It is Tamarack Lake Estate's "little sister" -- a dramatic 3 level lakefront/beachfront charmer sitting right on a sandy beach, minutes from the ocean!
Most people come to Cape Cod to gaze at the ocean. But what if you could be at the beach for hours on end and two minutes later go home to a luxurious lakefront estate a few blocks away?
Imagine the enjoyment of having the best of both worlds -- the sandy beaches of Cape Cod Bay and the sparkling clear waters of a spring-fed 376 acre "pond." In this amazing spot, you'll have privacy, recreation, and comfort in a setting graced with sparkling waters, towering pines, brick paths and patios, decks, private sandy beach, dock, and boathouse -- even before you encounter the incomparable home itself.
This charming home, a cottage that grew into an estate because the house was so well-loved, is a classic example of the New England add-on cottage style. A major renovation was completed in 2005, bringing together the best of the past and present .
Tamarack has a beautiful gathering room, tastefully decorated in restrained Nantucket style, a place to converse or watch TV. From here, enter the sleek mini-kitchen outside the Great Room. The Great Room, added to the house in the '90s, perhaps should have been called the Greatest Room. It has a 22-foot stone fireplace, sit-upon hearth, plank floors, soaring ceilings and a expansive glazed-brick veranda where adirondack chairs line up to take in the water view. This magnificent room is divided into areas: a banquet table, a writing area, two sitting areas with off-white couches, a British West Indies armoire housing the TV, and 1830s mahogany horseshoe counter for laying out a buffet, or locating your laptops (this is a WI-FI home).
You may feel inspired to write your memoirs here under the watchful eye of the Sable Antelope gracing the fireplace. Ship's stairs lead to a carpeted loft overlooking the spacious room. Giant sliders open to the large brick patio, offering a flow and ease of indoor-outdoor living, with mature estate plantings and towering pines.
The fantastic main kitchen has a vaulted beamed ceiling with six skylights and excellent task lighting for cooking. Wood floors, mahogany countertops, and top quality appliances make this two-sink, two-dishwasher kitchen a place to spend all your time. The chef will appreciate our Thermador ProHarmony gourmet gas range with Faber pro hood, Miele MasterChef double convection oven, Sub Zero glass door refrigerator. Miele and Bosch dishwashers make cleaning up painless. You may want to spend your entire time in the kitchen. Step out the French doors into the sunny courtyard to snip some herbs or smell the roses, or turn right to go to the brick barbeque patio with its Weber kettle grills and stress-removing lake view.
The bedrooms are pleasant and thoughtfully decorated. They are appointed as follows: (upstairs) master suite = lake view, queen bed and luxurious bathroom. Middle bedroom = lake view, 2 full-sized beds with antique cannonball headboards. 3rd bedroom= lake view, 4 twin beds (think cousins spending the summer together). 4th bedroom=courtyard side, two single beds. Main floor bedroom (just off the Gathering Room and mini-kitchen/wet bar) queen bed and adjacent bathroom (grab bar installed in tub wall.)
Tamarack has a private boat dock with jet ski ramp, a sandy beach, a boathouse with a bunk bed and all-glass boathouse doors, with the lake lapping at the edge of the boathouse -- an exciting location in itself. Kayaks, a canoe, floats, and water toys are supplied.
For those considering accessibility in case a dear one isn't as mobile as in the past, most of the home's features are at-grade. The slope down to the water is an easy stroll and there is a secondary driveway down by the dock that enables access by car.
The circular driveway allows multiple vehicles to navigate through the park-like setting, and there is space for a wedding tent and caterers' vans. (On a case-by-case basis, we will consider very small weddings in consideration of our neighbors.)
Personal checks are accepted for rental fees, and a credit card will be used for the damage deposit.
